Talisker is the oldest Single Malts Scotch Whisky distillery made by the sea on the shores of the Isle of Skye, one of the most remote, rugged, yet beautiful landscapes in Scotland

Talisker is the oldest Single Malts Scotch Whisky distillery made by the sea on the shores of the Isle of Skye, one of the most remote, rugged, yet beautiful landscapes in Scotland. Few whiskies tell the story of their origin better than Talisker. Its smell and taste instantly connect the drinker with the rugged environment – like a warm welcome from a wild sea. It’s a powerhouse; challenging but adored; once discovered rarely left.

Talisker - Made by the Sea

This is a tale told by the tides. On the windswept, wave-smashed Isle of Skye.

The Character

Exuberant, wild and free, with one foot on the land, one in the sea

Peated, maritime and forthright

Like the view of the sea from our distillery doors, this whisky is complex, and takes a while for your palate to appreciate some of the more salty, peaty notes. Each expression has its own forthright personality, offering something distinct from the rest, and yet they all belong to the same breed – whisky for the adventurer, those happiest close to nature.

Full-bodied with a signature hot sweetness.

Peaty

Peppery

Smoky

Intense and powerful, the Talisker family all have a peated, smoky flavour. This flavour comes from the peat burned during the malting process, and carries on it the salted smoke of an island battered by wind and waves. Beneath the smoke you’ll find soft fruits and cereal notes, and in the older expressions a rich vanilla imbued by the aging process.

Talisker Heritage

In 1825, Hugh MacAskill of Eigg acquired Talisker House and the north end of the Minginish peninsula on the rugged, beautiful Isle of Skye

Five years later, he and his brother had built what was to become one of the world’s most popular distilleries on the shore of Loch Harport. In fact, by as early as 1898, Talisker was one of the best selling malt whiskies in the UK.

The spirit of a wild island

From the shores of windswept Skye.

Sitting amongst the Inner Hebridean Scottish Isles, Skye is rugged, windswept, a place of extremes. Talisker on the Isle of Skye captures the spirit of its island home perfectly. Bursting with the famous smokiness, the surprising subtle notes of black pepper, and yet rounded with a smooth finish, Talisker is a delicious contradiction.
